Are you an experienced Plumber or Plumbing Trainer looking for the opportunity to come off the tools and build long-term security with structured support to gain your teaching qualifications?

Do you have strong industry experience and want a role where you can develop your delivery and influence the next generation?

This is a permanent, full-year position within a Further Education environment, offering stability and clear backing to develop as a lecturer. You'll join a department focused on high-quality teaching, with support to achieve formal teaching qualifications where required.

You'll be part of an organisation committed to safeguarding and high standards, with a strong focus on learner outcomes and continuous improvement. The role also gives you scope to contribute to course design, programme development, and wider curriculum growth.

Based in Cambridge, you'll deliver teaching and assessment across Plumbing programmes, create teaching resources, track learner progress as a course tutor, and support recruitment and open events as needed.

This role suits a high status motivated person who wants to become a stronger specialist educator through structured qualification support and long-term professional development, not someone only looking for short-term classroom cover.

The Role:

• Deliver teaching and assessment across Plumbing programmes in a Further Education setting (Cambridge)
• Create teaching resources, tutor learners, track progress, and support placements and course administration
• 37 hours per week, full year; some evening/Saturday/summer delivery may be required

The Person:

• Level 3 vocational qualification in Plumbing
• GCSE grade C (or equivalent) in English and Maths
• Substantial, recent, relevant industrial Plumbing experience (plus current H&S knowledge)
